TOO MUCH cRooKEpNEss.
Governor Sawyer Refuses to Sign the
Hazen Bill.

CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 1S-Governor Saw
yer has vetoed the Hazen bill. The message
reached the Legislature at p. m. The Gov
ernor says: Although no proof has been
found that any legislator has been bribed,
the evidence justifes the belief that deliber-
ate and systematic attempts were made at
wholesale bribery by both sides. No law
should go on the statute books bearing even
a suspicion Of enactment through bribery
The best way t) check such methods is to
make it certain that no bill, TO pass which
attempts at bribery are made, can become
law. In such degree as these corrupt prac-
tices are allowed to pass unnOticed, the
moral sense, not only of the legislators but
OF the people, Will become dulled to their
enOrmity and in the end the government
become a farce and an object of contempt
AS the honor of the individual should be
above prices, so, in larger sense should
the honor oil the State be lealously guarded.
Being strongly impressed that the honor and
good name of the State are involved in coun-
tenancing the methods practiced to secure
the passage of this measure, and that all
other considerations should be set aside,
veto the bill"
The message was referred to the judiciary
committee.

Ohio Oil Product.

Prof. Orton, in q lengthy article on
oil and natural gas in Ohio, says of the
Findlay field:
"The Findlay fields are having a
rough time. The Standard oil COM
pany has put down the price of oil to 80
cents per barrel. At this price there is
very little money in boring oil wells.
There is movement to use oil in loco
motives for fuel. In Russia it has been
used for years in the locomotives and is
very satisfactory. The railroad COM
panies could afford to pay a much
better price than 80 cents per barrel for
this oil, and even then, as fuel, it would
cost only about one-third as much as
coal. 1t would also save labor, as no
ashes or clinkers are formed.and the en-
gine easily fired. The possibilities of the
Pennsylvania field has been sounded,
and the indications are that Ohio is
now to become the great oil field. Ohio
could in few months produce 25,OOO
barrels per day, but, there being no
money in it, there is no inducement to
expand. The oil fields of Pennsylva-
MIA have been largely exhausted and
many of them are only yielding one
fourth the amount they formerly did.
There are still spots from which many
barrels can be drawn. but they can
never supply the demand. At present
sthe oil in storage is being consumed
much faster than it is being produced,
and the time is coming when Ohio oil
will command better prices.
